💕 After decades as a social worker and “… seeing moms washing used disposable diapers because they couldn’t afford to buy fresh ones…” Jamie Lackey took the bold, hairy and audacious leap to start GA’s only baby supply bank, Helping Mamas.
What’s a baby supply bank? Glad you asked! Think food bank, but instead of food it’s:
“…diapers, wipes, baby clothes – the most expensive things parents need to have,” said Lackey. “And there was no public assistance or coordinated effort to help them.”
After ten years and more than 10M essential items distributed to the families that need them the most, Lackey continues to see the need grow.
Yet, as you can see from one of my fave pics of her, she’s cheering on her team, donors, board, partners and all the amazing folks who do the good work to keep the warehouse full!
